Contest FAQs

A: There are no restrictions on the number of contests in which
you can participate at the same time.

Q: Can I predict on the same companies for different contests
on a given contest day?

A: Yes, but for all instances where you are predicting for a given timeframe,
such as 1-week, you must predict the same direction. EXAMPLE: Imagine you predict
"IBM UP" for a 1-week prediction in a Technology contest. You can then go to a Prediction
Throwdown, or another contest, that is also for 1-week predictions. You can select
IBM, but when you do, you will have to select UP. Otherwise you will get a message
that you already predicted Up and you must use the same prediction.

Q: Can I make different predictions for the same company on the Prediction
Board page and the Contest gameboard page?

A: Any contest entry prediction "trumps" the Prediction Board entry. EXAMPLE:
If you make a Prediction Board entry for 1-Day/IBM/Up, and later make a contest
entry of 1-Day/IBM/Down, the contest prediction will override the Prediction Board
entry. Likewise, if you make the contest entry first, when you look at the company
on the Prediction Board, you will see your contest prediction already shown there
for the day.

Q: What happens if I predict a symbol and the price remains the same?

A: If you predict a symbol will go up or down, and it remains the same, your
answer will be counted as incorrect.

Q: Are there any volume or price limits on the stocks we choose for a contest?

A: Each contest will have certain limits or restrictions. For most contests,
the only restriction will be either the symbols in a specific sector, or some other
"group" type of restriction, such as the S&P500. If the contest doesn’t specifically
state a volume or price limit, then there is none.

Q: How do I tell if a symbol is OK for a particular contest?

A: You make your prediction on the contest "gameboard" in an area called
the Prediction Arena. When you go to select a stock to predict in the Arena, you
will enter letters in a textbox. As you type the letters, you will see an auto-suggest
list of companies. Any company that you see in the list is "legal" for that contest.
In addition, only "legal" symbols will enable the up or down prediction buttons
to work.

Q: How do I enter my contest predictions on prediction day?

A: To enter your contest predictions, follow these steps:

On the first day of prediction, between 9:30am and 4:00pm ET, first make sure you
are signed in.

Go to the Contests page and click on the Contest Title or the Play
button.

You should see your contest gameboard with a bright sign that says Active Prediction
Day. Below it you should see a place for you to "play."

Look at the section that says "Prediction Arena." There should be a rectangle marked
"YOU" that contains spaces for you to make your predictions. Enter a symbol and
click on the Up or Down button below it. Continue until you have filled all the
spaces and you see the Submit button become available. When you are sure that you
have made your final choices, click the Submit button. Once you click the button,
there is no way to change your entries. After you submit your entries, other players
will be able to see your symbol choices but not whether you predicted up or down.
When the market closes, they will be able to see your Up or Down choices.

Q: Do I have to show my contest predictions to other players?

A: During the prediction day, other players and viewers will see the symbols
you select, but not the direction. There is no way to hide your symbol selection
from others. After market close, the other players and viewers will also be able
to see the direction of your predictions. There is no way to hide this information
from others.

Q: What happens if there is a technical issue on prediction day?

A: PredictWallStreet carefully monitors the contests. If there is a verifiable
technical problem, we will provide an announcement and take appropriate action.
For example, the prediction day might be cancelled and an extra one added to make
up for it.

Q: On a daily prediction contest, I predicted Up and the stock was, in fact,
up on the next day. Why was I given a score of "incorrect"?

A: When you predict for a daily contest, you are predicting from the price as shown
on PredictWallStreet at the time you predict, until the close of the following day.
You will see this indicated in the text of the prediction Up and Down button tooltips.

So to evaluate your predictions, you have to look at the difference from
when you predicted to the close of the following day. You cannot base assessment
of your accuracy just on market open to market close. That is why two people
might predict "up" and yet one person will be correct while the other is incorrect.

Q: If I think the price I predicted from is inaccurate who should I contact?

A: The cash prize winner will be contacted and asked to submit certain relevant
information. Upon identity verification (including social security number), a check
from PredictWallStreet will be sent to the winner.
